Not saying I agree with the idea (frankly, I'm not sure why that guy is even here) but the way to do it would be to ensure that there is a common connection standard, but the software will be proprietary, so that if some company goes out of business, their charging infrastructure can be bought...
It compares well to low end automotive leather but most luxury vehicles offer 2 or more grades of leather. You can easily tell the difference between the vinyl stuff and the higher end leathers.
